Charlton women news - (2025-26 fixtures are on page 106)

The temperature calculations are a little more complicated than the guesses above.  Here, south of Gravesend, last night's minimums were -0.7C and -3.9 at grass level.  Currently (4:10pm), it is 6.0 and 0.0 on the grass.  Like the JS my weather station doesn’t see much sun at this time of year.  Whatever time they chose to play today the ground was likely to be iffy in front of the JS.  Have we still not got a boiler ?

Similar time kick off this coming Saturday v Stevenage. Fingers crossed we don’t have the same outcome 

I would hope that 

1)  we have the covers on all night 

And

2) we turn the undersoil heating on. 

Neither of which happened last night / today.

Understandable why it was called off, but still really frustrating. Particularly because there looked to be a decent crowd in, helped no doubt by the fact this was one of the few women's home games this season when the men weren't at home the day before.

How many is a decent crowd at a women’s game?

and would the income generated pay for the heating/ lights/ pitch maintenance and ground prep? I would imagine not and would cause even more damage to the pitch.

You ignore the fact that the £750,000 grant from the FA to upgrade the pitch was for the women's team to play at The Valley.

The pitch has not been managed well. A more experienced football groundsman is needed.

Blackburn's women's team is only just surviving financially at the moment. Charlton as a club let them down big time.

Blackburn game rescheduled:

9 Feb: week off (FA Cup round 5)
16 Feb; Portsmouth, away, 2pm. At Westleigh Park, Havant & Waterlooville FC. £9 adult, £6 over-65, £1 under-18. Tickets from here.
23 Feb: international weekend, Nations League. England play Portugal away on 21 Feb and Spain at Wembley on 26 Feb.
2 Mar: London City Lionesses, home, 2pm. At the Valley. £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.
9 Mar: Blackburn Rovers, home, 12 noon. At the Valley. £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.

We've signed Fran Stables, another midfielder, until the summer.

Wouldn't use the above link @Crusty54, looks dodgy to me and lots of questionable links in the comments. The live stream will be from the official Championship page which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/@BarclaysWC/streams

I think the Championship channel is live-streaming the Birmingham game rather than us. Unless I've mis-read it.

You might be right there on second look, not sure anyone else will be streaming it though so we might be reduced to highlights 

Newsham side footing in after a nice move. Several other really good chances too.

2-0 Brazil following up after a good save by their keeper. Then immediately 3 via Hutton. 

Make that 5!

5-0. Holes starting to open up in the Pompey defence now. About 30 or so cheering when we score. 

5 behind Birmingham as it stands, played a game less. More worried about LCL who are 4 points ahead of us having played the same amount of games 

23 Feb: international weekend, Nations League. England play Portugal away on 21 Feb and Spain at Wembley on 26 Feb.
2 Mar: London City Lionesses, home, 2pm. At the Valley. £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.
9 Mar: Blackburn Rovers, home, 12 noon. At the Valley. £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.
16 Mar: Bristol City, away, 2pm. At Ashton Gate. £12.25 adult, £10.25 over-65, £10.25 under-22, £7 under-19, £5 under-12. Tickets from here.
23 Mar: Birmingham, home, 2pm. At the Valley. £10 adult, £7 over-65, £6 under-25, £5 under-18.

Two potentially season-defining games coming up on the 2nd and the 23rd of March.

CAST is subsidising coach travel to the game v Bristol City at Ashton Gate on March 16th. 

Provided there is sufficient interest the coach will run (from Charlton) for £5 return.
